1. What are your earliest recollections of magazines? Which magazines do you read regularly today? Why?
When I was younger I used to read Teen magazine. I loved to buy them and see whats the celebrities my age were doing these days. Reading the stories was entertainging becasue when your a teenager you don't really find a magazine that you can read and fully relate to. My favorite part of the magazine was reading the embarassing stories that people would put in there. I dont really read magazines today, but one I will pick up is Cosmo. It is a very interesting magazine and I find a lot of the material in it amusing and humorous.
4. Do you think Internet will eventually displace magazines? Why or why not?
I personally do not believe that internet will replace magazines. Like I said in my last blog about newspapers being replaced, a magazine is portable and can be taken anywhere to read. Of course now a days pretty much anyone can get the internet on their phone, but its still no the same as having that magazine in your hand. Plus, you dont always have coverage for the internet and who wants to sit there and read something on a small screen on there phone when they can pick up a magazine and hold it in there hands and read it.

Chapter 8
1. What kinds of stories, topics or issues are not being covered well by mainstream papers?
I think that mainstream papers only try to capture the attention of the older population. The only section that I personally reach for in the sports sectgion and that is because I know that those stories will be more apealing to me. I dont get into most of the stories in the newspaper. So i think that maybe they should start trying to publish more stories that a younger generation would want to hear about. Everyone is always saying that the youth has no idea what is goin on in the world. That is because we dont even attempt to pick up a paper becasue we know there is probably nothing in there that we care about.
3. Will blogs and other internet news services eventually replace newspapers? Explain your response.
I personally dont believe that they will replace them. Sure everyone loves to be on the computer and they read the news on the computer but it doesnt beat the fact that you can read a newspaper anywhere becasue you can take it anywhere you want. Normally people dont just carry about their computers and pull them out and start reading. The fact that the newspaper is lightweight and portable ispart of the reason that I believe blogs or other internet news services will not replace newspapers.
